STYLE EVOLUTION

Juliette Binoche’s Style Evolution Includes Pantsuits and Sequins

by Meredith Jayme

Juliette Binoche entered the spotlight in the early 1980’s with roles in popular French films such as Les Nanas and Rendez-vous, and she hasn’t left since. She continued her streak of starring in standout roles with Chocolat in 2000, Caché in 2005, and Godzilla in 2014, to name a few, and in true French, cool-girl style, always appears effortlessly chic with just a touch of glamour. Binoche’s stellar performances have earned her much recognition along with numerous nominations, awards, and the honor of being the first female actress to have won Best Actress at Cannes, Venice and Berlin for Certified Copy, Three Colors: Blue, and The English Patient, respectively. Now a mother of two and an activist for Reporters Without Boarders and Enfants d’Asie, Binoche continues to take on new roles and stand-out wherever she goes whether that be on the big screen, red carpet or anywhere across the globe that she may be. Whether it be a bold suit, embellished gown or spontaneous new hair style, Binoche always appears confident and stylish. Here, look back at some of her best looks in honor of her 53rd birthday.
